"He's currently breaking through and can't be disturbed!" Yuan Qi said as he formed hand seals, setting up several formations around Ling Qi, and then signaled everyone to stay away from Ling Qi's vicinity.

Ling Qi seemed to have realized his own situation as well, and he sat down cross-legged to begin regulating his breathing and absorbing spiritual energy.

The surrounding spiritual energy surged even more violently, and the spiritual energy from the nearby floating peaks also rushed towards this side. A strong wind blew across the entire square, and the spiritual energy surged.

Ling Qi's sudden realization forced You You to hastily disperse the disciples and temporarily seal off the entire plaza. She then sent Lin Feng and Shui Yan to the mountain gate to lead qualified new disciples to the side hall, except for the one who had been causing trouble by stepping on others.

Ling Qi was originally one of the few Golden Core cultivators in the sect, and was considered the most insightful among the Yuan family relatives. Before the Feng family joined, he was the most powerful cultivator in the sect.

Compared to the other disciples, who had all advanced several minor realms, with Lin Feng even breaking through from the Foundation Establishment stage to the Golden Core stage, Ling Qi's cultivation had remained stagnant. At most, he had only narrowly progressed from the mid-Golden Core stage to the late stage, still some distance from perfection.

Sometimes, even the sect leader, You You, felt a pang of guilt, wondering if she had given him too much work, keeping him constantly busy with sect affairs, handling everything inside and out, leaving him little time for cultivation, which was why his cultivation level hadn't improved. She felt a sense of guilt, like she was withholding wages and benefits from an employee who was working too hard.

Fortunately, Yuan Qi said that his cultivation would definitely increase greatly after this enlightenment, which could be considered a bonus. However, Ling Qi's enlightenment lasted for five whole days without stopping. And the surge of spiritual energy in front of the main hall square became more and more intense, as if it would never stop.

A whirlwind of spiritual energy, resembling a tornado, swept across the entire plaza, lingering for a long time. Even Yuan Qi had to go to the main hall several days in a row to reinforce and expand the arrays, in order to prevent the spiritual energy he generated from affecting the surrounding buildings.

Youyou was initially pleased, but later became a little worried. With so much spiritual energy gathering, was it really okay?

It wasn't until Yuan Qi spoke up and asserted, "He might... be about to form his Nascent Soul!"

"..."

Skipping a grade?!
